Well, I'm further behind than I was last time. I'm up to 26,500
words, but I wanted to be up to 32,000 by the end of the day yesterday. It
is vaguely possible that I'll finish on time still; skipping Saturdays, which I
do, I'd need to write 2,700 words a day to finish on schedule, which I have
achieved once or twice so far, but I'm averaging more like 1,600, which would put
me up at about the 41,000 words at the end of the month, and is actually pretty
close to the per-day word count required if I had written on Saturdays as well,
which isn't too bad for my first try at serious writing.
